Poisoning the Na⁺/K⁺ pump would A)generate a more negative membrane potential. B)increase cellular permeability to Na⁺. C)inhibit secondary active transport. D)increase cellular permeability to K⁺.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Poisoning the Na⁺/K⁺ pump would inhibit secondary active transport. The pump is responsible for maintaining the electrochemical gradient that drives secondary active transport, so inhibiting it would impair this process. This would not directly affect the membrane potential or cellular permeability to specific ions.
